Metéora,
literally "middle of the sky" or "in the heavens above" is
one of the largest and most important complexes of Greek Orthodox monasteries
in Greece, second only to Mount Athos.
The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The nearest town is Kalambaka.
The Metéora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
